Fiber optics communications became practical when we found, for the first time, a match between the characteristics of the medium, the transmitters, and the receivers that we were able to build with repeatable characteristics.
Over the decades, we have developed several successful combinations covering various application scenarios, from short-reach optical interconnects all the way to submarine links, using specific portions of the fiber spectrum.
- Will the bands we have predominantly used - O-band for short reach interconnects and C+L band for long reach- still be the winners in their respective application domains?
- Is there territory being contended?
- Are there new “challenger” bands emerging somewhere?
- Which present or future bands will new types of media - multicore fiber, few modes fiber, hollow core fiber- use to attack the dominant position of G.652 fiber?
